xThis is probably my favorite song off of Tom Gabel's, the lead singer of
Against Me!, solo album. It's catchy and yet so simple. Even though I found
it next to impossible to sing and play at the same time. But, maybe that's
just me. If you have any problems with the strumming, please listen to the
song first and try playing along. I believe it's %100 spot on. But for some
reason, I still have my own doubts about some of the chords. When you've

And that should be that for Harsh Realms by Tom Gabel. I do apologize if
some of the chords don't sync up exactly with the lyrics. What else could I
say about that. I tried. As I've stated before, please rate and comment my

Man, thank you so much. I have been wanting to learn this song forever, and your chords are spot on. Although, this song is rather difficult. Maybe it's just because I've never ran into chord structure like it. I'll get it up to speed, regardless, if it kills me. Once again, thanks so much.
